Ascent Notes for: Flower of High Rank - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.88/5

Incredible route.

We walked up to an empty route in the shade late in the day. No other climbers around for miles. No time for an easier warm-up for me, so I just had to do it. Onsighted by the skin of my teeth. I think I have led easier 10a's in some places, but this is 5.9 at Tahquitz/Suicide.

Feet are very slippery during the first moves but protection is exceptionally good on this route!

Definitely want to go back and lead this one.

Amazing route. Don't underestimate the finger crack on the first pitch, and don't let the crux on the second freak you out.

Very fun. I can see why it's a classic

Great crack climb. Did it in 1 pitch with a 60m rope. A must do.

Excellent crack system, did it to the top in one pitch as the hanging tree belay didn't look fun. Try to have your belay set at the base of the climbing or the rope will feel muuch heavier due to swinging.

OS

right of passage for Suicide?

Up to the Tree and rapped down, was getting dark. Really clean finger crack, loved it!
